Be it known that LFnnirn Giiioim, aciti-l zen of the Island of Cuba, and a resident of the citv of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented Vcertain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Wrapping Various Articles, of which the following is a specification.

vThis invention relates to' machines for forming a paper wrapper or box simultaneous with the placing of anal-ticle within such a wrapper or box. v

scale The objectief the invention is to provide a 'means by which the article can force .they

wrap ler through the machine, causing a.

d: box to be formed containing the article.

The invention' consistsL of a means for .forming and cutting off a wra per blank from a supply roll of paper, :in means for Aapplying pasteto portions of the blank and for placing it in position to receive the article to be wra pcd. VAn endleis conveyer is provided witii containers for the article, an intermittent inovenient being imparted to the conveyer, causing 'the containers to suc cessively come to rest in ranfe with a recidprocating plunger and the Wrapper blank.

ovement of the plunger forces the article from the container against the wrapper, and

l I causes the wrapper to be folded upon the article. At the end of movement of the lunver the ackave assumes a osition in P as i P o ran e with :i plunger moving transversely of t ie first mentioned plunger. Movement of the last mentioned plunger, causes foldinfr of end flaps, the application of aste, an

i final delivery of the' finished pac age upon 'shown in Fi un endless traveling belt.

YT e paper passes from beneath roller 6, pa. y f around'. said roller and backbetween' two 76 guide rollers 7 and 8, which rotate in beir-v ings formed on standards 9 fortuinrr part of main frame 4. The tendency of t e paper to retain the curvature of the roll .of aper is overcome by strain, in an opposite irection as it passes partly around roiler 6. As the pa er passes between rollers 7 and B, it isgui ed by flanges 10 formed on roller 's' into alineinent with a' drum 11, the paper passing beneath rubber roller 8 onto drum 11. Drum 11 and anotherdrum 12 aetuate means for making creases and slits. in the paper forming the wrap er blank`final1y cutting cti the blank ang feeding it to a. chute 13 as hereinafter described.

' 'As shown. in Fig; 3, aiereaee 14 is formed lengthwise of the lank one-third its width from each margin. At the center of the blank, two slits,- 15, are cut, extending from each margin to crease linef, at. a distance apart` equal to their length, and creusesl, are formed across tbercenter part'on a. line with slits 15. At the lower end of the blank a crease 17 is formed crosswise, a distance from the endequal to one-third the Width of the blank, and two slits 18 are out extendin from the end to crease 17 on a line wit crease 14.

A continuation of slits 1S of the second mentioned blank is made at the upper end of the lirst mentioned blank vpasses between drums l1 and 12,'leng1hwise creases 14 are formed byl ribs 23 on roller 117 which forcethc paper into correpmiding depressions; .14 on roller 125 the lenethwisc slits 1S being cut. by knives 25 0n ro ler 12, which pass through the paper into corresponding deinessions Q6 on roller 11. 'llie cross slits 15, 19 'and 20 arecut by means of a knife 27 attached to a yielding slide QS moving ringu-idea on a frame 29 centrally pivoted at 30 to standards 9: .The end of frame 29 carrying slide 2S is held up by means of springs 3l, and'slide 2S is held at the outer end 'of frame 2U by means of springs 32. f The end of f rznne Q9 opposite 'slide 2S provided with projections 33 adapted for engagement with cams 3l, 35, 3G and 37 forn'iefl-on tlieends of roller 12. Cams 34, 235 and 3G will cause the ends 38 of knife 27 to cut slits 15 and Q0 by passing thrrugh the paper into correspoinling recesses 39,40 andl l1 formed on roller 11. Cani 37 causes a `greater downward nierevment of knife 27. causing:r the center 4Q of the knife, along,r with the ends to pass through the paper into a'- recess a3 extendino' across the whole face of drum 11, thereb;

making erosscut. 19 the full. width of the paper.V By referenceto Fig. 11 of the drawing, it, will be seen that. the cutting edges of the knife extend from the ends toward the center atl an inclination, and that the central part 4:2 is composed of similar cut'- ting edges oi'setfrom the cutting edges 3S. The cutting edges 3S will therefore cui. the paper until the offset is reached, and the cutting edge @will not act until the knife ood has been further moved a distance equal to the offset. Knife 37 is guided into recesses 39, 10, 41 and 43 by means of projections 44 formed on the ends of roller 11. 1When knife 97 comes in contact with guides 14, springs 32 will permit'slide 28 carryinter knife 27, to move in unison with roller 11, until pins 43 riding against an inclined face-4G formed on frame 2t), causes the frame tor move the knife ont of engagement with the paper and guides 44. Viren vknife 2T passes down through the paper a .stripper 47 on slide 28 is moved up against. the faceof aspring 4S, so that when the knife is lifted from the paper, the stripper will hold the paper down tiring the withdrawal of the knife, kthe stripper being lift-ed from the paper after the withdrawal oftheknife, by means of Y slide 28. The cross creases 1G and 2l are on roller 11 Vplaced between the recesses 39,

t() and 41 which the endst of knife 27 enter in cutting the cross slits 15 and '20. Ribs 4t) force the paper into corresponding depressions a() i'ornied on roller 12. v is forint-d by means of a rib 51 extending across the full width of the drum 11, said The crease 17' rib forcing,r the paper' into a correspi'inding on drinn 12 pass through the portion into corresponding holes 55 formed on drum 1l,

so that as the portion f asses from ruil.;

A tween the drums 11 and 1Q, the pins 51 aided by knives 35 will carry portion 'S2-away from ali'neinent with chute 13, and permit it to slide olf upon the incline 5G.

Shaft 57 secured to drum 12, rotates in bearings on standards 9. and basa bei-el gear wheel 58 on one end :n mesh with a' bevel gear wheel 5S) on a' vertical shaft 60 by n-'lneh it is driven. The opposite end of shaft-57 has a'gear wheel 6'1 attached, in inc-sh with a gear wheel 62 on a shaft (i3 secured to drinn 1l. Attached to gear wheel (31 is a chain wheel Ghdriving a chain (i5 and a chain wheel (3G which is secured to a shaft (57 carrying a roller 68 which turns in a paste reservoir 69. tions are :nude in paste relier tiri near each end, which serve te carry paste from reservoir 110. to be taken up by paste wheels 71 which are mounted at the lower end of a swinging frame 79. piroted at Paste wbee s 7l are held against paste roller 58 by means of springs 71 acting on swinging' frame 72. The upper end of swinging frame 72 isv provided with an extension 75 adapted for engagement with earns 76 and 77 on gear wheel G2. By means of cams 7 .and 77 paste wheels 7,1 are moved away from paste roller (5S into engagement with side llaps ofthe wrapper blank as they pass dewyn chute 15:1. liv'liecls 78 are so placed on the kopposite side of the blank that the blank paf-ses between paste wheels 71 and wheels 7S. Cani 78' cause paste wheels 71 to he held 1n contact/with side liaps 7) during,I their travel between wheels 71 and 7S causing paste to be applied ythroughout the length of side flaps 79, as shown at. S0 iu Fig. 2. A break occurs-before cam 77 acts, causing paste wheel 71 to be moved. away from the center end flaps 81.

To overcome this' A series of indent Y Thenasthe iiaps continue in 'their downwarcmovement, cam773310 L clrte 13.

will caujse paste wheel' 71 to he held against.

eide. flaps 82 for n distance equal'to oneV third the width of the wrapper blank, as shown at. 83in Fig. 2.. The blank as it passes from between drums 11r and 1E: comes to rest on supports 81 at the lower end of The center of the blank then stands on aline with a channel formed b a top plate 86, a bottom plate S7 and side plates l88, the blank being held away from said plates during its downward movement by means of a. light spring S9 attached to the top plate 86. When the wrapper comes to rest onsupports 84, a container 90 for the article 91, stands on .the side of the wrapper oppositetlie channel 85. Y A reciprocating p unger 92 then forces the article 91 out of container 90 against the center of the wrapper, causing the wrapper 'to be forced against the ends of lates 86, 87 and 88. When this takes place iinged doors 93 forming part of chute 13 are in'oved to one side, permitting the upper and lower ends of the wrapper to swing clear of the chute, as they are folded upon the article by means of the top plate 86 and bottom plate 87. At the saine time the center end flaps 81 are folded upon' the.

vso

article by means of the side plates Side plates 88 have a support 94 from standards 9, so as to leave a space 95 for'tlie passage of side flaps 79 and 82;

' As the article 91 and the wrapper, folded as shown in Fig. 13, continue. in their travel between top plate 86 and bottom plate 87, the upper side flaps 82 will be turned down upon the article, and upon the center end flaps 81, by means of guides 90 attached to top plate 86. laste 8301i side flaps 82 will cause center end flaps 81 to odhereto side flaps 82, and the wrapper will appear as shown in Fig. k1l, Continued moreinentof direction and the package will stand in line with ka reciprocating plunger 100` moving transversely of the line of travel of plunger 99.. The package then occupying a chamber in which side flaps are held in place on one sideby a bar 101, and on the opposite side by-packages previously formed. Bar 101 extends from vertical side wall 98 to a vertical wall 102 forming part of a channel having a` bottom nplate 103 and top plates 104 and 105, through which chunrcl the packages are moved by means of plunger 100. A plate 106 is pivoted 9.13.10? to plunger 100, and an arm `108 forming part? of plate 10G is connected by a rod 109 to one end of' a lever 110 lin-li is pivotcd :it its center 11.1 toplnnger loo. .-i spring 112 is vconnected to the other enil of lever 110. causing plate 101' to rest against wall 98 when plunger 100 occupies the position shown in Fig. 109 is connected is provided with a roller The end of lever 11() to which rml 113 adapted for engagement withl :i projecf tion` lllffroin wall 9S. When plunger 9:2 has trove-d away from the package, plunger 1U() iviil begin to inove` causing plate 10G to f turn end iap 11:3, shown in Fig. 1?, partly toward the article. then roller 113 will strike projection 111, causing plate 100 to turn end flap 115i to the position shown in Fig. 19. As the movement of plunger 100 con# tinues, roller 113 will ride along projectionr 114 and the package will be mover from the position shown in Fig. 5 to the position shown in Figs. l and 16. During this movement of the package, end tiap 116 will 'oe turned from the position shown in Fig. 19v

to the position shown in Fig; 20, by means of an inclined projection 117 from vertical wall 99. To plunger 190l is secured a thin vertical plate 118 lia-ving a vertical slot 119 through which passes a bnr 120 havinga twist 121. Bar 129 is connected to a rock shaft 12"?. mounted in. bearings' 123 on plate 105. To rock shaft 122 is secureda plate 121- and an arm 125, 'which is connected by a rod 120 to an :ii-in 127. Arm 127 is se.- 'cured to a short rock shaft 128, having a plate 129 attached, and mounted in bearings 130 on plate 1.03. When plunger 10() has reached the end of its movement as shown in Figs. 10, 1i' and 18, plate 118 acting,on i

twist 121 will have caused plate 124 on, rock shaft. 122 to turn flap 131 of a previously formed package, from the position shown in' Fig. 20 to the position shown in Fig. 21. Then as this packagois moved forward by tliepaclniiges coming after, flap i131 `will be held in place by a plate 132 attafched to top plate 105, and a paste wheel 133' mounted on plate 13:2 will apply paste to end flap 134.
